@ Risk- Education system

Knowledge, Education, Skills and Training are essential and fundamental raw material for any nation’s success in a rapidly globalizing market.

While nations commit and spend a significant portion of their GDP on education system, there is no guarantee that investment in education system brings much needed affordability, adaptation and change that is compatible with the rapidly changing globalizing markets and emerging technologies and industries. This is a risk of great proportions.

•Do you see your nation’s education system compatible with the globalizing economies?
•Do you see your nation’s educators, educating students based on facts and not political ideology?
•Do you see your nation’s education trend dictated by nation’s ruling governance?
•Do you see a need to privatize your nation’s education system?

With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical education risks. Let me know your thoughts.

    •Do you see your nation’s education system compatible with the globalizing economies?

    I am a trained professional for Business Education in Secondary Education; the United States has a theme to prepare the next generation. However, in that there is an alarm going out that our educational system has failed our children. View the website below cited that teaches this at:

    ETS. (2009). The Perfect Storm. Educational Testing Services. Retrieved October 17, 2009; from http://www.ets.org/Media/Education_Topics/perfectStorm/perfectStorm.html

    •Do you see your nation’s educators, educating students based on facts and not political ideology?

    The educational system of any nation is much like an energy box that feeds the electric to all the people. If the executive branch of the government has a power switch in the cabinet for the educational sector, how will it be non partisan?

    •Do you see your nation’s education trend dictated by nation’s ruling governance?

    This question is really answered in the above statement. In a non partisan answer; isn’t it true all over the globe? Economics are managed on who works, where, and how much they make while they work. Freedom of choice is not determined by the individual’s hopes and dreams, but by the individual’s capacity to be capable of doing. Those that do not work are scrutinized by the educators and placed into categories for future developmental projects and social security programs. People with better starting points in the economy will have better advantages.

    •Do you see a need to privatize your nation’s education system?

    Correction of the nation in which I live would not solve the problem as a reoccurring problem in the globe. Why? The United States is a living document and is still only that… a document that may be understood from many different perspectives. Education is already labeled an equal opportunity. A representative debate may consist of reviews of scientific evidence for budgeting; however, in the final outcome, the representatives can only debate in whatever light is available (debates may actually darken issues). Therefore, many things are not clearly reviewed and the needed changes go off into compromise to end a legislative debate. Isn’t this what is wrong with partisan-ships and political agendas? Isn’t this why neutrality should exist in governments? Neutrality is so that the people that are poor may not feel poverty and be abused by tyranny, correct? (Is that the gist of the Declaration of Independence-1776?) Yet, the system that governs the economics is policies of either democrat and or republican or even independent, but not rich or poor policy platforms…neutral stands should be felt within each, right? Private education begins at home and then the government takes over in a group format for individuality. Which is it? May we keep our children home from now on and teach them basic community survival techniques? Are we a collectivist society or an individualistic culture? May social change in collectivist perspective change the face of education in the global economy?

    The answer or resolution is not in private teaching enterprises that could somehow become a puppet for the government, but in the educational system being for the people with insight towards the future. Should education be based on individual pocket prices of economical social economic status or on human needs? Allow the children to design the world they want to live in and promote true freedom of thought (with guidance of course). The future belongs to the children.
